Chapter 5 "Ma'am!" the manager cried out in alarm as soon as he saw Cynthia Lynwood faint.
But in the very next moment, a figure moved faster than the manager, rushing to Cynthia Lynwood's side and scooping her up before swiftly leaving.
That tall and commanding presence could only belong to Aaron.
Serena allowed herself a small, sardonic smile.
With Aaron having driven off, she had no choice but to call a cab to get home.
Unfortunately, finding a cab near the dealership was no easy task.
Serena, in her high heels, walked for nearly an hour before a driver finally accepted her ride request.
Once inside the car, she glanced down at her blistered feet.
She let out a sigh of relief.
At least it was her feet that hurt, not her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter the incident at the dealership, Serena didn't see Aaron for several days.
Not that she needed to investigate his whereabouts.
Cynthia Lynwood was always eager to report them herself.
[9:05 AM: Aaron personally fedsoup today!] [6:23 PM: Aaron peeled a grapefruit for me. It looks delicious, want to try? Haha, you'll never get the chance!] The message included a picture of the neatly peeled grapefruit.
[10:35 PM: Aaron is sleeping right beside me, hehe~] Attached was a photo of Aaron resting his head on his arm by Cynthia Lynwood's bedside.
Serena glanced at the messages before tossing her phone into her bag.
Perhaps she had grown numb. Over the past few days, seeing Cynthia Lynwood's updates about Aaron felt like watching a jester's performance.
Exiting the car, Serena walked into L.S. Entertainment.
This company was a joint venture she had started with Aaron.
Initially, it was meant to bind Aaron closer to her, ensuring he wouldn't easily end things.
Ironically, it ended up being her own trap.
"You're planning to leave Alderburg and head back to Northspire by yourself?" The company's vice president, Samuel Lewis, stared at Serena in shock. "Does Aaron know?" Serena replied, "I haven't told him yet. Please keep it a secret for me." "Of course, of course," Samuel nodded, still in disbelief. "Don't you love Aaron? Can you really bear to leave him?" Serena had been chasing after Aaron for seven years, dedicating the best years of her life to him.
"Yeah, I'm done with him," Serena said nonchalantly. "Once I leave, I'll leave the company's stock division to you. Thanks in advance." "No need to be so formal," Samuel said, lowering his head to hide the delight in his eyes. "After all, you're my mentor! I only got into L.S. Entertainment because you recommended me." Serena gave Samuel a grateful look.
Though the company was hers, Samuel was the one who kept it running.
Without him, it might have collapsed long ago.
After taking one last tour around the company, Serena finally left.
Samuel personally escorted her downstairs, watching wistfully as her car disappeared into the distance before returning upstairs.
On the road.
Serena opened her phone and crossed off the second-to-last task on her list: dividing the company's stock. Then, her eyes fell to the very last item.
-Move out of Rosewood Gardens.
Once she left Rosewood Gardens, her ties with Aaron would be completely severed.
Serena drove in silence, the atmosphere in the car growing heavy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon arriving at Rosewood Gardens, she headed straight to the second floor.
The house staff, upon seeing her return, acted as if she were invisible, not one greeting her. They all knew Aaron had no love for her.
Since she moved in, Aaron rarely cback.
Serena entered the guest room.
She and Aaron slept in separate rooms.
The wardrobe was filled with clothes from various luxury brands. All gifts from Aaron.
Yet Serena had no interest in them.
She bent down and pulled out her suitcase.
As she was packing, a car horn sounded from downstairs.
"Mr. Vance..." "Mr. Vance..." "Mr. Vance..." The respectful voices floated in from the entrance.
Aaron had returned.
Serena hurriedly shoved the suitcase back into the closet. The content is of novelenglish.net! She didn't want Aaron to know she was leaving.
